Emeka Ike’s Brother Debunks Allegations By Actor’s Ex-Wife, Son
Veteran Nollywood actor Emeka Ike’s brother, Victor, has stated that the accusations made by the actor’s ex-wife, Suzanne Emma, and his son in a recent interview with Chude Jideonwo were all falsehoods.
He urged the actor’s son, Michael, to apologize to his father for the abusive language and insults.
Victor, also a music producer, claimed that his brother’s ex-wife had slapped her husband on several occasions and conducted unauthorized bank transactions from the actor’s account, of which she was a signatory.
These revelations were shared by Victor in a series of tweets through his X handle (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. He further alleged that Suzanne had fabricated stories about his mother, asserting that she had physically assaulted her multiple times. Despite numerous complaints, Emeka reportedly chose not to address the issue, emphasizing the actor’s strong affection for his wife.
His tweets read, “I heard the lies made against my brother, Emeka Ike, by his ex-wife on #Chude show. So; she slapped him on a number of occasions but now claims he is a wife beater?
“She was a signatory to his bank account and when he was alerted that huge amounts were being withdrawn constantly, he asks to be informed before withdrawals, then she turns it into an issue of being financially deprived?
“He sponsored her from the level of JAMB exams to university and then Masters. He opened CIS movie studio and a secondary school, both of which she was put in charge of and subsequently ruined, and now she claims he never allowed her work.
“Why only use parts of his voice note and not the complete VN, If not for the intent to blackmail him with false allegations?
“Men’s voices don’t matter anymore cos when they try to express themselves, people don’t don’t believe them.”
Biztellers reports that Suzanne had earlier addressed the allegation that she assaulted her ex-husband’s mother, as she narrated her side of the story, saying that Emeka Ike’s mother accosted her mother and accused her of stealing her son’s money.
Micheal, Emeka Ike’s first son, who was featured in a recent interview alongside his mother, recounted harsh things allegedly said to him by his father amid their complicated relationship.
Speaking about his father in the interview, Michael said, “He (father) said whether she wants to kill my siblings, to be like it’s only him that is alive. Let everyone kill themselves.
“He (father) said, ‘You’re doing music, you’ll never prosper. I’ll see you on the side of the road, and I’ll spit on you. Don Jazzy would never see you.'”
Emeka Ike had also revealed the harrowing experience he went through, resulting in the loss of property worth millions of naira and limited access to his children, due to assault allegations made by his estranged wife, Suzanne Emma.
Ike shared his side of the story during a recent interview disclosing that the assault allegations made against him led to the closure of his secondary school, St. Nicholas College, on CMD Road, Magodo, which he said was an investment worth over N480 million.
He emphasised that the accusations tarnished his reputation and resulted in the loss of valuable assets.
Nigerians have, however, continued to react to the allegations and counter allegations.

Veteran Nigerian singer and activist, Charles Oputa, better known as Charly Boy, has reacted to Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s recent apology regarding his stance on tithing.
Pastor Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), had previously claimed that those who do not pay tithes would not make it to heaven, a statement he recently retracted.
During a sermon, Pastor Adeboye apologised, saying, “I’m apologizing for saying, ‘If you don’t pay tithe, you won’t make it to heaven.’ I’m sorry, that’s wrong, and it’s not in the Bible. What the Bible says is, ‘Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see God.’”

However, Charly Boy, known for his outspoken nature, expressed dissatisfaction with Adeboye’s apology. In a strongly worded post, Charly Boy stated that the apology was meaningless unless Adeboye returned the tithes collected from followers based on the original claim.
Charly Boy wrote, “Your apology don’t mean shit unless you promise to return the tithe money them give you for mumu people wey wan bribe dia way to heaven.”
He went on to criticise certain church practices and the perceived hypocrisy of some church leaders, saying, “I truly believe that a lot of the fakest people are found in churches… Stop giving ur CONGREGATION ridiculous Lamba’s. There is nothing worse than a fault-finding finger-pointing Pastor who is as fake as the blings of a wanna-be artist.”
Charly Boy has long been known for his controversial takes on societal and religious issues, and his latest comments have sparked reactions across social media.
